Got a defender whip for FA+SeeInvis+rBase, an artifact armor with permLite, a cloak with ESP, artifact speed +2 boots.
Only found two spellbooks so far, m3 & m5, and a few offensive rods & escape items.

#1 concern is that food is running low, but the good news is that I get nourishment spell at clvl25.

#2 concern is poor fighting, will have to find a lot of great gear before I can switch to an offensive weapon, and I haven't found a decent shooter.

rBase from armor and FA from ring allowed me to switch to a poison branded weapon. The queen ant dropped a chest that provided the phial and a 5x xbow! Extra copy of incantations&illusions is a relief, since I'm counting on nourishment spell.

seen sorcery&evocation and raal's tome but didn't pick them up. also dropped my resistance&scarabs but kind of wish I had it back now.
